The Maile sisters from Viewmont High didn’t mind too much: they relished the chance to wear gold medals and stand on the top podium at their home pool.

Viking junior Mariah Maile hauled in three gold medals, first in the 200-yard freestyle Friday, then Saturday afternoon in the 100 freestyle before the Vikings’ 200 freestyle relay team also took first.

Maile won the 100 in 51.6 seconds, beating Timpview’s Rachel Oyler by 0.16 seconds. The relay race was about a half-hour later.

“It’s awesome, especially the relays because this is our last race all together, they’re all seniors and I’m a junior,” Mariah Maile said.

Their 200 medley relay team finished second Friday. What made the 200 freestyle relay better for Maile was that her sister MJ swam the final 50 yards to wrap up the race.

Earlier Saturday, MJ finished dead last in the final heat and 10th overall in the 100 butterfly despite having the third-fastest seeding time.

“(The relay) made up for the whole day, but the 100 fly I just went out too fast and couldn’t really catch up in the end,” MJ Maile said.

MJ, a senior, said she was sad after the butterfly and had an asthma attack afterward as well. But there was plenty of time until the relay with 100 freestyle and the marathon 500 freestyle races in between.

The South Davis Rec Center is also the home pool for Bountiful and Woods Cross, and there were a few Braves and Wildcats swimmers who had solid performances.

In her state meet debut, Bountiful freshman Elliot Howe took second in the 100 backstroke behind decorated Brighton swimmer Rhyan White.

White swam the race in 53.55 seconds, just 0.10 off her Utah state record set two years ago and 4.08 seconds faster than Howe (57.63), who was 1.2 seconds ahead of third place.

Woods Cross’ Addison Morris and William Harris went 3-4 in the boys’ 200 individual medley, Harris finished third in the 500 freestyle, WX boys’ 200 freestyle relay team finished fifth and James Whitlock was fifth in the 100 backstroke.

Box Elder’s boys team finished sixth, helped by a fourth-place finish from Jared Laws in the 100 butterfly and a fifth place in the 400 freestyle relay. Viewmont’s Nickolas Keller took fifth in the boys’ 100 breaststroke.
